The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
by Penfold Theatre Company

Sep. 12 - Sep. 28
Fridays-Sundays

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful, fast-paced crowd pleaser and an instant theatre patron favorite.
